The management of this bank is equal to any in the State, and its stock cannot be purchased, because its own? ers feel that the investment is a safe one, and prefer it to the premium which it com? mands. The new Board of County Commissioners qualified on last Tuesday and entered upon tlie discharge of their duties. The Board organized by electing Mr. R. S. Bailey Chairman and J. L. Tribble, Esq., Clerk. Mr. Robert Stevenson was elected Steward of the Poor House. These selections are judicious and each of the persons diesen is well fitted for his respective duties. Mr. S. A.

We regret to lose him from Anderson, for during his stay in our midst be has made many friends by his urbane bearing in his business and social relations with our people. We wish lor him much success and prosperity in bis new horns. On Tuesday last Mr. C. E. Harper's gin house at Honea Path, and a large amount of cotton seed together with about three bales of cotton in the seed were destroyed by fire, which is supposed to have originated from the gin which was running. The en? gine and all the packed cotton were saved. By judicious work the flames were prevent? ed from spreading to the surrounding stores. The damage is estimated at about one thou? sand dollars upon which there was no insu? rance. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Kizziah Davenport, which occurred at the residence of her husband in Belton, on ths 16th of December last, in the seventy-fifth year of her age. She was Miss McDuniel, of Greenville County. In 1SC0 she joined the Columbia Baptist Church in that County and was baptized by Rev. A. C. Stepp. She leaves an aged husband and eleven grown sons and daughters who, in common with many neighbors and friends, regret her death. Messrs. Sullivan it Co., have secured the 9 agency for this place of the following school books, all of which have been adopted by the State Board of Education for the public schools of this State, and which are offered ; at reduced prices, and also exchanged for old books: Appleton's readers, Cornell's Geographies, Quackenbos' grammars, com* , position and rhetoric, and the new model ?".copy books. Those who desire school books J would do well to call and examine the stock of Messrs. Sullivan & Co. The receipts of cotton at Anderson for the month of Deecmbcr, 1878, amount to 2240 bales against 1922 bales for the same month in 1877, being an increase of 318 bales. The total receipts of cotton for the four months ending December 31, 1878, amounted to 10,332 bales, against 7,008 bales for same time in 1877, being an increase in receipts of 3,32-1 bales. Anderson still holds her Qwn as the best inland cotton market, and the rapid increase in the receipts of the fleecy staple shows she is on the bigii road to regain all she has by discrimination lost. The price at one time this week reached as high as 9} cents. Mr. L. C. Braddy, a highly esteemed and respected citizen of Anderson, breathed his last about six o'clock on Wednesday even? ing of last week, after a painful illiicss of several months. His death had been daily expected for the past week or ten days, and consequently was not a surprise to our peo? ple, though when the announcement was made that he bad passed from time into eternity many hearts were made sad, and every one felt, though it may not have been expressed, that another good man hud bceu called from his labors and toils on earth to his reward in Heaven. He was a good citi? zen, and by bis uniform courtesy, accom? modation and friendly disposition be had won for bimFelf the good will, friendship and high esteem of all who knew him. H was a faithful soldier during the late war, and carried with him to the grave scars that bore testimony to his bravery and gallant ry. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn their loss. His remains were in? terred in the Baptist cemetery with Masonic honors on Thursday afternoon. A Terrible Homicide. On last Monday afternoon at about san down, Mr. Drury Snipes, an old man of about seventy years of age, while returning home and walking upon the public road in front of the residence of Col. E. M. Rucker, was run over and almost instantly killed by some horseman who was riding in a full run. Mr. Willie Archer, two of Mr. Snipes' little grandsons, and a colored man, were witnesses of the terrible tragedy, but none of them knew the man who caused the der.th. Mr. Snipes' bead wa3 badly bruised in front, and the skull was broken in the back so that he immediately fell to the ground and expired without uttering a word. The unknown rider reined in his horse and rode baek to the place where Mr. Snipes was lying, whereupon Mr. Ar? cher said to him, "You buvc killed that old man," and without saying a word he rode off in 3 lope. Coronor Herriek sum? moned a jury and held an inquest, at which the testimony of the witnesses were taken, and from the evidence Mr. Aaron C. San? ders, of the Fork, was sent for, hut proved an alibi so clearly and conclusively that he was immediately discharged. There is at present no clue to the person who commit? ted this deed, and from his secreting him? self from the knowledge of the public, son timcot is strongly in favor of ferreting the matte: out and rigorously prosecuting the case. No doubt the rider had been drink? ing, and was inexcusably reckless on this occasion. Examination of Public School Teacher*. The examination of teachers for the pub? lic schools this year has been conducted by the Board of County Examiners, and out of some sixty applicants forty odd have stood successful examination and received certificates enabling them to teach first grade schools. As some persons may not understand the principle upon which this examination is conducted it may be well to state that (he County Examiners have nothing to do with the questions nor the values assigned to them. This is done by the State Superintendent of Education, and the same questions are sent to every County in the State. To each of these questions the State Superintendent assigns its value, and all that the County Examiners have to do is to see if the questions are answered correctly. If the applicant answers more than eight-tenths (we believe it is) of the questions properly, he passes, but not other? wise. The present County Board" has been efficient and faithful, yet lenient, in the dis? charge of their duties, and we take the lib? erty of suggesting to any persons who have not obtained certificates that they should not be discouraged. By procuring a set of the new text books and studying up they will be able to succeed on the next examination. Rev. Robert King. This aged aud excellent Christian minis? ter, whose death it was our sad duty to chronicle last week, was one of the early Baptist ministers of this portion of South Carolina, and as such was well known in this portion of the State, not only to his own denomination, but to the people gen? erally. He was born in this County on the 1st day of January, 1791, and upon reaching early manhood determined to try his for? tunes in a new country, and accordingly re? moved to the State of Tennessee, where he was converted to Christianity in 1809, and baptized as a member of the Baptist faith by Rev. Daniel White of that Suite. He thereupon returned to this County, married in April, 1811, und permanently settled here, joining the Neat's Creek Baptist Church. In May, 1S28, he was ordained by his Church to preach the Gospel, the pres? bytery consisting of Eldsrs Moses Holland, Saudford Yaudiver and James Burriss, to? gether with Mr. Aaron Wilhon, a lay member. He raised a family of twelve sons and daughters, all of whom are members of the Church of the same faith as their father, and are upright and exemplary men and women, making useful and respected citizens in the various walks of life in which they are engaged. Mr. King was in the ministry near fifty-one years, preaching his last sermon at Bel ton in March, 187S. He was then very feeble, and his patriarch? al words from the text, "stand still and see the salvation of the Lord," were listened to with much interest and reverence. As has already been said, he died on the 1st day of Jauuary, 1879, being on that day eighty eight years old. Mr. King was a kind and amiable gentleman, without a collegiate ed? ucation, but possessed of strong mental power and sound judgment. He was a pure man and an earnest minister, whose long lifo bus been devoted to the effort to benefit mankind. On lost Thursday the remains of the deceased were interred in .Seal's Creek Church Yard, in the presence of a large concourse of people, after eloquent and solemn funeral services by Revs. J. S. Murray t.nd W. P. Martin. Turnips. Recently Mr. J. C. Keys sent Judge L. E. Bleckley, of Atlanta, some turnips to show the success he has in the production of this crop, and the gifted Judge acknowledged receiving them in the following lines, which he sent Mr. Keys: By swift express thorc enmo to me A lot of turnips?only three. Three turnips so immense in size Before had never met my eyes; I felt like bending to my knees And thanking Mr. Crawford Keys For turnip-wonders such as these. In Turnipdom be has no match. He's master of'the turnip patch. The turnip eaters, up ami down. Should offer him a turnip crown. True King of Turnips would he be! Who else has served as well as he The turnip loving family? We honor all the good and great Who lead us in the Church or State; And surely he who takes the van In turnips is a leading man, For since our ruin by the fall There's been a never-ceasing call For turnips, Tiit.virs! by us all.

Mr. Editor: I know it will be of interest lo the Presbyterians and many others scat? tered all over the"County, to review with us a portion of the early history of Broadaway Presbyterian Church, and in order to pro? voke a discussion among those who may be well informed, to the end that the Church may obtain a better history of the primitive churches of this denomination, I hereby make this proposition : that Broadaway Presbyterian Church is the first of that de? nomination founded in the upper division of this State, or, as usually stated, upi*>r South Carolina. According to the testimony of the Rev. Hugh Wilson, handed down to us by the Rev. William Carlisle, now living at Ander? son C. H., anrl about 87 years of age, Broad? away Church was located in the year 1787, near Neal's Creek, seven miles southeast of Anderson C. H., by the Rev. Robert McLin or Rev. Mr. Gilliland. The first elders were Rob't Telford, the grandfather of Rev. Wm. Telford, of Florida, Capt. John War nock, an officer in the Revolutionary War, and Rob't Dowdle. Capt. Rob't Willis was Clerk of the Church, and perhaps an elder. The families constituting this Church at first were the Warnocks, Erskines, Tclfords, Dobbinscs, Thompsons, Todds, Browns, and others. The Church was supplied from its organ? ization up to 1801 for the most part by Revs. McLin and Gilliland. Rev. William H. Barr, D. D., of Abbeville, served the Church for sometime, after which the Church was served by the Rev. Richard B. Cater up to about 181G, and perhaps longer; and from 1810 to 1829 by the Rev. Aaron Foster, Anthony W. Ross and David Humphreys, from 1829 to 1858 by the Rev. William Carlisle, who preached his first sermon to this Church on the first Sabbath in May, 1829. This Church was removed to Belton in 1852. Since 1858 the Church h? had but little supply, and for several years passed none; and the question here arises, Will Presbytery' allow this common mother to go down, or will she do something to resus? citate her? As Virginia is the mother of States, so Broadaway, in this section, is the mother of Churches. At this time she has but a mere handful of members, but one elder, Thomas Erskine, and he is about 74 years of age. Will our Baptist brethren tell us whether Neal's Creek Church is not the oldest, or nearly so, of that denomination in upper South Carolina. This Church and Broada? way were both located in the same neigh? borhood. Broadaway Church was located before the South Carolina Presbytery was formed. M. Club Meeting?.

M. of Pomona Grange is notified, he can appoint some one to represent each Grange who will likely go. This meeting of the State Grange is probably the most important of any of the State meetings since our organization, and hence the importance of full representation Let every Grange in the County come for? ward at once and set themselves right with the Secretary of the Pomona Grange before that time.

McLANE'S celebrated LIVER PILLS, for the cure of Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSrsrSIA AND SICIC 1IBAOACHS. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left sidcj the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, accompanied with a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex? isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged, AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be r.sed, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afllicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled, beware of imitations. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's Livex Pills. The genuine McLane's Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLane aud Fleming Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Flem? ing Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. SPECIAL INVITATION.
